Trout House

We came to stay at the Trout House for a milestone birthday celebration on the Island. I picked the house because of the outside deck and view. We really enjoyed the house, the history, and our time on Catalina.

Small upstairs home with wonderful charm and character. Nice layout, 2bdrm and separated bathroom...water closet/sink and tub shower/sink. Makes it very manageable with two couples. Great outdoor covered patio with peekaboo view of the harbor.

Property description needs to accurately note there are two half bathrooms, not two full bathrooms one bathroom enclosure has a toilet, the other has the shower so in effect there is really one bathroom but it is divided by a wall. Few small items like no Kleenex anywhere, plate of half eaten food was left on the kitchen counter, a large hairball was on the carpet, and no curtains on Windows and second bedroom so that late sleeping is nearly impossible. Otherwise unit was relatively clean and neat. The patio balcony in front is the nicest feature and makes it very comfortable.

Great Summer Getaway!!

My family and I had a great stay at Trout House! Perfect location, close enough to everything but far enough away for a quiet stay. Beds were comfy, used the very functional kitchen. The place is rustic but everything works well, awesome water pressure and love the history of the house. Great deck for relaxing after a day of exploring. We would definitely stay again!

Enjoyed this Property

My sisters and I enjoyed staying in the Trout House. It was full of history of the island. The beds were comfortable and the kitchen was well stocked. It was in a super safe area. The porch overlooking the Avalon Cove was wonderful!!! The only reason I rated it four stars was that it needs some updating which I spoke to the property manager about.

A great little place for our weekend getaway with 2 Adults and 2 teenagers. It's close to the main shopping and dining area and the Vons supermarket is also a short walk. It's an older house with character, a little cramped, but expected due to being built in the early 1900s! Overall, we had a fantastic stay.

Came back a year later to this charming historic home and much to our pleasure, nothing had changed. It is an exquisite historic gem, and if that’s your thing, this is your place. We will be back time and time again.

Lovely historic home with terrific local decorations and views. Easy walk down to beaches/shops/restaurants. Contacted property manager in advance and no difficulties with smoke smell mentioned by a prior guest. Only stayed for the weekend so did not make use of kitchen amenities but appreciated that it was well stocked for cooking. Learned from some locals that former owner was a Disney illustrator. Overall was great to stay in this unique spot!

Not as advertised

This unit is a duplex not a single family stand alone home. The property manager lives onsite and smokes weed 24/7. The smoke smell permeates the vents and through the floor boards and through the open windows. The house has a constant stink of weed and incense. If any of this was disclosed I never would have rented it especially with my kids with me…. The pictures are accurate to a point. But overall the experience is one step above “glamping” and with the smells and smoke it was very unpleasant

We'll be back...

This was the perfect place for my wife and our two daughters (all adults) to stay on Catalina. The location was within easy walking distance to most of the restaurants and shops in Avalon. We spent many an hour lounging on the deck at rooftop level with the rest of the neighboring houses enjoying the cool sea breeze and listening to the tolling of the clock bell on the Chimes Tower as the minutes lazily whiled away. We had a wonderful extended weekend, and this cottage was the perfect place for us to stay. A large "thank you" to the hosts for sharing their space and putting together a wonderful retreat setting.

What a beautiful little old house!

My family and I stayed here for almost a week and had a great time. The house is a beautiful fully intact early 1900’s cottage- a real piece of Avalon history. We loved this, chose it because of this, and it was perfect for us. The porch is amazing and the location is ideal. Beds were comfortable and kitchen was functional and equipped. Recent reviews I think need to be mentioned here: yes, the rooms are small- it’s a 120 year old beach cottage. If you are expecting a modern house without any of the old home quirks and beauty, then rent one of the bland condos elsewhere- there’s plenty of them. This place is a well-preserved gem from Avalon’s history and I wouldn’t wish for it to change one bit. We’ll be back next time.
